I’m an 80s addict and yet I heard this song for the first time today…this tune is one of the most 80s things ever. How many more gems from that time are still out there to discover

I am so thankful my dad showed me this as songs … I grew up listening to this while we bbqd … && now I do the same && my boys dance all over the yard to these jams..
I can see my best friend Prepping off this. She could dance her face off! Damn, I get chills hearing this thinking about all of the great times we had. God is good. What a great time I have had so far in this life.
This, "Midas Touch" and "No Parking On the Dance Floor" were among my first and favorite new 45's bought with my own money. They sound just as fresh now as they did then.
The music was great, the economy even greater but the politics of the era and social inequality not so much. The 80s might look like fun from a distance but conservative politics were dominating everything and making life miserable for most of the rest of us. Thats why the music was so great...its all we had to grab onto to mentally escape from all their bs. And here we are in 2024 and they're at it again trying to stop anyone from having any fun or from simply just existing!
A #1 hit for Midnight Star on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 519th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It was also the last #1 R&B song of 1984 and the first of 1985. What will the R&B scene be like in the new year? Stay tuned.
Mint Video their biggest hit Operator they had alot.The set up the girls the guys merge to make Midnight Star the style funk electro rules just adds to an awesome genre with Pop and Rock.Heart of the 80s ❤ greatest year for charity and fundraising the World was doin my greatest era 1985 towards 89 could harp on explain anyways to be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere and Midnight Star all the way thru 80-90
Have to say, back in those days you didn't know have to know every major dance out there. You moved to rhythm and that was it, you had fun and there was no judgment. Now every song has a specific dance routine, you don't know it and people get all high and mighty.
Driving down the street with a big ass subwoofer in the trunk listening to this jam. A good dedication song to all doctors. One line in this classic song made me think. Long live the jams.
2021 2021 can't touch this era this is real music this is art right here. This is real talent yes I'm a 90's baby and grew up on all this great music back then
Remember back in the 80's when BET would show videos like MTV? I had a chance to see Midnight Star live a couple years ago. I'm kicking myself now that I didn't go.
My dad said I used to be obsessed with this song when he would pick me up from daycare he would always play it and I still don’t remember but I obviously believed him so I went back to this masterpiece again😻😻💅😻😻purr
I still have a random memory of my childhood involving this song. It was the summer of 1996 and I was watching "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" with my brother in the living room. Windows started rattling and this song was playing in a car at full blast. My aunt was at the driveway and coming over to pay a visit, along with her then boyfriend. My mom was pissed because the music was really loud and didn't want the neighbors to think we were "ghetto." That memory still plays in my head 26 years later when I hear this song. I love this song!
They were bumping this song at Kmart while I was picking up a few items I had to hear it again so I turned to TH-cam lol The song made me spend an extra 50 bucks.
The neighbors called the cops on me for playing this too loud. The cops gave THEM the ticket for complaining about this classic electrofunk jam.
😂
Lol

1000% agree my dude
One of my favorites back in the eighties. Sounds timeless modern !
good music of the 1980s at reflections east dance club in troy ny
I don't care where I'm at. I just start dancing. The 80's for me was a classical era that's unforgettable. 70's, 80's, 90's. Incredible

Feels so good to relive the 80s.. my teenage years!!!
YES!
Yes
Damn I miss the 80’s!!! I was a teenager during the Reagan era. Those were the best years of my life.
I remember seeing this on MTV, and Friday My Videos. Love Ms. Lilly Thomlin as the operator with the 1940s hair do. Good times 😆☎️
Best time ever!!!
I can see my best friend Prepping off this. She could dance her face off! Damn, I get chills hearing this thinking about all of the great times we had. God is good. What a great time I have had so far in this life.
How I wish I could go back in time to the early 80’s
This, "Midas Touch" and "No Parking On the Dance Floor" were among my first and favorite new 45's bought with my own money. They sound just as fresh now as they did then.
Yeah Operator. Midas. And parking r the beeeest. Just a rocket
Love both those songs ❤️
Don't forget " Wet my whistle " lol
I love those songs especially midas touch i can replay that over and over😄👍
Night Rider is my favorite
I will never stop wishing I could've experienced the 80s. My parents are so lucky
The music & pop culture was so great but the conservative parties in power and their awful policies throughout all that decade...not so much
We are luckiest 😁
The music was great, the economy even greater but the politics of the era and social inequality not so much. The 80s might look like fun from a distance but conservative politics were dominating everything and making life miserable for most of the rest of us. Thats why the music was so great...its all we had to grab onto to mentally escape from all their bs.

OMG, this beat is perfect!!!
Who all lived in Southern CA. remember the AM station "The Mighty 690" used to play the ish outta this and other Midnight Star songs..
What a classic!!!
4 (!!!!) Prophet-5 synthesizers! Awesome.
This is an amazing group I been a fan since I was about 5 in 1987.
I was 9
I'm 14 and I've been loving midnight star since I was little and that will never change they rock
I doubt you understand who an Operator was and the power they wielded back then
Saw them in concert 4 x. Best ever. Nobody can ever match their talent and music.
They don't rock, they FUNK!
@@sweetsunnyvibes The only limits & distinctions to Funk are AWESOMENESS!

This was a hit on the dance floor whrn I first started going to nightclubs at 15.
Isso é uma pedrada !
how many nights in the 80s i spent drunk or high jamming to this stuff on the radio
I love the 80s! Probably the last era with any innocence left!
Typical of the hip hop influenced funk that started to emerge in 1984. Good track.
No sound can beat those +/-80ies jams!
clássico dos anos 80!!! lembro bem dessa eu era pequeno e já ouvia acho que era 1984 / 85
🤤
thank you Midnight Stars !
